NWS has to be where the people are. The weather community has used Twitter for more than a decade to communicate to the weather service. They simply cannot pick up and leave. As much as I like Mastodon and Lemmy, 99.6% of the public have never heard of it.
Twitter is shit, public utilities should not rely on enshittified private tech corps.
How about NWS should start to use lemmy?

Ideally municipalities should set up their own mastodon instances, no?
